hey all,

my rear shock absorber took a shot. it ride very hard and feels very loose on back. i think it's about time to change. i have 03 yukona denali with automatic adjust. what shock can i use? bilstein, belltech, racho, kyb. i'm stock height now. also part# if possbile.

thanks

Has anybody used Bilstein/Arnott shock for rear? they seems pretty nice, also they have bypass for electrical damping.
or Stay with stock shock? autoride in denali sux.

I don't have any part numbers for ya, but I'll tell you that Billstein shocks are awesome. I replaced my factory Z71 shocks with Bilstein HD's and the improvement in ride quality was night and day. It used to be harsh and jar you over bumps with the factory red Tenneco shocks, but the Bilsteins are responsive, not stiff...it rebounds quickly and smoothly (at least it did before I lowered it and compressed the shocks...wish Bilstein made a drop shock for my truck ...although I've heard that the Belltech Street Performance shocks are excellent in lowered applications)

i order pair of Bilstein/Arnott rear shock. i will post update as soon as i get my shocks.
now what can i use for front shocks?

I'd get whatever comparable Bilstein shock that's available for the front if it were me...

icedenali

yes, u are 10000% right. i thought about getting OEM, but then i really didnt want stock, so i was thinking bilstein front if they got any.
i was also thinking about rancho for front, but i dont kno how it will work so...

icedenali

i just put new rear shocks in.....WOW it feel very nice, actually much better then i expected. and compare to stock, i think stock ride couch. no more loose feeling turning. this thing is awesome.
i need front now.
